The DE should be just high enough that no back teeth touch with the NTI in
place. Your back molars should just barely miss touching.
Getting accurate measurements of one's own mouth are tricky. These
numbers could be off by as much as 50%. I need a set of inside
calipers and an extra set of hands.
With the NTI in place and my front teeth touching, it's difficult for
me to see the separation at the very back. It looks like it's about
1-2 mm. Moving toward the front, the separation increases to about 3-4
mm between the teeth just next to the NTI (6-27 & 11-22). This seems
reasonable because the joint is at the back.
The NTI covers 23-26.
With the NTI out and my teeth closed, I see that I have an overbite
that is about 3 mm for 8 & 9. About 1-2 mm for the next 2-3 teeth (4-6
& 11-13) and then close to 0 mm farther back.
I think the NTI is as small (thin?) as it can be. The thickness of the
base looks to be 1-2mm and the DE is less than .5 mm on top of that.
Is there a notch worn into the DE?
No notch. Very smooth. I emailed the NTI dentist, who asked that same
question. She said I could come in if I want, but she doubts it's
related to the NTI.
I have a regular checkup with my primary dentist next week.
